or we could let an unnecessary danger to swimmers die.

No the fuck we can’t. Because last I checked humans don’t own the fucking ocean, and last I checked, they’re IMPORTANT apex predators, a super necessary part of the ecosystem. Not to mention NEW YORKERS bite 10x as many people as sharks do a year. More people die from lightning and fireworks than form sharks.

Sharks aren’t a problem. They never have been. People are.

if you swim where the sharks are, it’s on you buddy, the animal gotta eat you don’t gotta swim

miasmicsiren

To @keyhollow let sharks die naturally, don’t go hunting them. Last I checked there’s no such thing as an important apex predator. Why on Earth are New Yorkers biting people? Know what we did to lightning? We found ways to deal with them. I’d say firework damage is usually from stupidity.

To @jeza-red so nobody can enjoy the beach now. The animal doesn’t got to eat innocent bystanders that are definitely not fish.

I’m gonna ignore 95% of that and focus on the apex predator part.

They’re super important because they control prey animal populations, of prey animal populations get out of control it can heavily and possibly irreversibly damage flora, other fauna, and land. A keystone predator is literally irreplaceable

miasmicsiren

A “keystone predator” is nowhere near irreplaceable.

keyhollow

Do you know what keystone means??

miasmicsiren

First off, calling something a keystone predator is erroneous at best. Second, keystones can be replaced.

keyhollow

No

@miasmicsiren If you’re too stupid to read adult content, there’s even a children’s book on the subject!

Cherrypicking sources from shark apologists won’t work for you either.

beckyhop

Ah yes. “Shark apologists”. Those who defend the problematic behavior of *checks notes* preserving species and protecting the ecosystem.

Sharks aren’t even that dangerous to humans!

Not only are shark bites PRETTY DAMN RARE, but they can be easily avoided by taking steps like not swimming where sharks are and utilising specially designed swim suits that prevent the sharks from mistaking you for food, and even shark mail, that stops their teeth piercing your flesh if they do bit you! You can learn how to drive them off in case of an attack and not swim alone to increase your chances of survival, should the worst happen!

Sharks, the majority of the time, bite out of curiosity because they don’t have hands. Don’t look interesting.

(Also they are absolute BABIES and you should interact them with the guidance of a professional if you have the chance.)

just like any other predator, sharks are dangerous not malicious. all they have are teeth, they’re trying to investigate, not eat. you’re in their home, you’re the one that doesn’t belong, so it’s on you to take steps to protect yourself

starry-winds

i can not fucking believe someone is actually arguing that we should let an extremely important species die just because you watched a retarded and unrealistic movie on sharks. Sharks barely bite people, and when they do they usually let go the moment they realize it’s not their prey. 

Even if sharks were as ferocious as you think they are, their right to live is far more important than your right to splish splash specifically in shark infested waters.

time to say It... racism and xenophobia towards mexicans is a specific problem in america that needs to be talked about NOW. there is a culture of fear and hatred very specifically focused on the fact that mexicans dare exist outside of mexico that even extends past white majority areas and into other communities of color. its going to lead to something that can never be undone if other people don't start actively and enthusiastically giving mexican people their support and solidarity. i'm begging you, go out of your way today to research what you can do to help struggling mexican people in your community (which i guarantee there are)

if you aren't mexican reblog this but don't add any dumb shit to it please
